We had that warm spell when I posted my last flower photo, but it has returned to winter the last 4 days. Lows in the low teens, highs in the low? 30's and winds in the 30+ mph that give a real bite to being outside.? Orchardists are quite concerned as the trees have started to come out of dormancy so the buds are at a delicate stage.? They have no water yet in the irrigation system to use for frost control, so they are using their fans and maybe smudge pots.
